Brad Pitt stopped in at Sundance this weekend with producing partner Dede Gardner to support their film True Story, starring James Franco. Just me or is Franco’s Artist smug prick-face being restrained in the presence of a bigger movie star? He almost looks sheepish.

Tonight is the premiere of Seth Rogen’s and James Franco’s new movie, The Interview, in which they play entertainment reporters attempting to assassinate Kim Jong-un. North Korea is unhappy about the existence of this movie, and many people assume it’s the impetus behind the Sony Hack, but so far, no conclusive evidenceFull Story

Remember when James Franco reviewed Ryan Gosling’s performance in The Place Beyond The Pines? Click here for a refresher. He was crushing, hard. Too hard. Too extra. It was patronising. It was a compliment to cover the snark.
He’s just done it again with Jake Gyllenhaal. Full Story

Full disclosure: I have a thing for James Franco. He's on my list - usually at the top.
Lainey may call him the "Artist," and think he can be insufferable, but in my mind, he's a phenomenal talent. I respect his creative flexibility, his academic pursuits, acting skills and Seth Rogen obsession. Full Story

What boy band would it be?
Is he a New Kid?
Or a Backstreet?
Do you see him ‘NSYNC?
I think maybe Color Me Badd.
Doesn’t get much skeezier than Color Me Badd, so, like, perfect for a dude who creeps on young girls on social media.

It’s amazing how tolerable James Franco becomes when he’s working with Seth Rogen. It might be Rogen’s ability to bring out the best in anyone, or maybe it’s seeing their real friendship bleed into their performances together, but when Franco is working opposite Rogen, I almost forget about his InstagramFull Story

Well…
James Franco is also an attention whore. Full Story

James Franco was at the AOL Newfronts yesterday in New York to promote his new webseries Making A Scene With James Franco in which he and his friends cerebrally discuss their favourite cinematic moments and then re-create them with their own twist.

There’s a new James Franco exhibit at Pace Gallery in New York. It’s a big deal to be at Pace. Which, I suppose, means that your sh-t has to be good. Or at least that’s what it used to mean.
Franco’s work is, he claims, an homage to Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills in which she shot herself in the stereotypical roles relegated to women – the more she produced, the louder her message: cinematically, women continue to be treated as second class citizens. Full Story
